★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet (Field-Tested)

The ★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet in Field-Tested (FT) is a black CS2 butterfly knife with purple inserts on its handles. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. This butterfly drops from the Spectrum Case and the Spectrum 2 Case. The finish's scale runs from 0.06 to 0.80 and is trimmed at the bottom. That leaves five wears, though Factory New (FN) gets only the narrow band from 0.06 to 0.07.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet looks like in Field-Tested

The blade and handles are painted solid black, with no swirls and no pattern. Only the cutting edge is light. A deep purple insert runs along each handle, and everything else is black. Valve describes the finish as separate parts painted in solid colors in a black and purple palette.

This wear of the Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet is assigned floats from 0.15 to 0.38. Light marks show most on dark paint: the edge and the tip turn pale, and metal shows through on the raised edges of the handles. A copy's wear is determined at the drop.

What to check before buying

When you shop for this butterfly, the following matters:

• the artwork on the ★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet is not a roll of the dice. All copies are alike, so there are no colors to compare;


• float: both 0.15 and 0.38 fit inside this wear, and listings at those two numbers look different;


• the applied name: a name tag is possible on a butterfly, and stickers do not attach to it;


• edition: a StatTrak knife is a separate item.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Ultraviolet costs in Field-Tested

The ladder between wears is steep at the top. Factory New costs almost four times as much as Field-Tested, and Minimal Wear 1.36 times. Well-Worn differs by less than three percent, and Battle-Scarred is a sixth cheaper.
